The speed rating on media is what the media is guaranteed to burn at. However, it is possible that the media can actually burn faster than labelled. You will not know until you put the specific media in the burner what it is capable of. The burner and burning program should detect what the media is truly capable of, regardless of its officially rated speed. So, its a crap shoot really. Check out CDfreaks and forums like that if you want users experiences with media.
As for speed, the LG is nice because it gives 6x BD at a really cheap price - for $350 nothing really touches it on the market currently. I just thought it was a good deal as it was only $100 more than a reader and includes a lot for the price.
